the stock exchange announcement on 13 December 2023 and described in the offer
document dated 13 December 2023 (the "Offer Document").
The Offeror is a close associate to a primary insider in the Company (the
primary insider is the chairman of the board of directors of the Company). The
Offeror is therefore pursuant to the disclosure requirements in article 19 of

the Norwegian Securities Trading Act required to disclose transactions made in
securities in the Company. This includes disclosing acceptances received in the

received by the Offeror.
Reference is also made to section 6.2.2 in the Offer Document. The Offeror has
been made aware that the four references to the "nine months ended" in section
6.2.2 should be to the "three months ended" as the financial figures included in
sections 6.2.2.1 and 6.2.2.3 of the Offer Document are for the third quarter and
not for the first nine months of the year. More detailed financial information
can be found in the Company's financial statements, published by the Company on
its investor webpage: https://www.bwenergy.no/investors.
